There’s a new piece of art hanging in the lobby of the University of Utah Hospital made up of items that you could have ties to and not even know.

The project has been twenty months in the making. It all started when anesthesiologist Dr. Emily Hagn received her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in December 2020.

Next thing Dr. Hagn knew, she was collecting tens of thousands of empty vials from the health department, in hopes of healing through art. The artwork consists of vaccine vials, clean healthcare waste, and personal mementos from healthcare workers, former patients, and Utahns in general. The vials included in the piece make up around 17,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine administered in and around Salt Lake.

“It brought me back memories when it was at maximum [capacity] last year,” said Cornelio Morales, a MICU CNA at the hospital.
